The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are no more people going to sea on the beach. Even near the villages, many fishing nets are lined up and set up. This is the local method of fishing villages. Being able to use this method to detect how strong the wind is on the seashore is also a psychological effect. It seems that this way can block a certain amount of wind, making the people in the village less afraid of the sea breeze, and even some sea fish Gan also hangs there, using the low temperature of the sea breeze as a natural ice cellar.

The people in the village are basically packing up their things at the moment, or preparing food for the New Year, and they even visit less. After all, this is the north, and it is the coldest seaside. To welcome the sunshine, each house is burning a kang, the people living in this place are really not good.

The Jia family is also very busy at the moment. The Qi family is preparing things for Brother Xing to get married. While tidying up, he also said to the children around him who are busy doing their own things:

"Look, I just said, as long as our family is diligent, we can still save a lot of money, plus the money from selling winter vegetables, this time we saved a full 12 taels, brother Xing You don’t have to worry about marriage, second son, look, you can still save your brother’s school expenses in the spring of next year, which shows that buying land is indeed the most profitable thing.”

Speaking of this Qi family, she has a smile on her face. She never thought that she would have such a day, a newly built big house, thick walls to block all the sea breeze, and a newly built kang, according to what the second son said. , and leave a few flues on the ground, so that the ground is warm and you don't have to worry about the room being cold.

Because their family was the first to build a house, this method of keeping the flue has been learned by many people. A few days ago, someone came over and thanked them with eggs, saying that it was because of learning their method that the family The old man, this winter has suffered a lot less, the ground is warmer, and naturally the cold legs that almost every old man in the village suffered from in previous years has also been relieved a lot. This is really a good thing.Those who were not able to clean up the kang because they were repairing their houses have now seen the benefits, and they will definitely learn it next year. By then, no matter how cold the winter in this village is, they will not freeze to death like in previous years. The method is over.

Speaking of the fact that every family can burn kangs in winter uninterruptedly to warm the ground, let’s also talk about the fact that their village bought coal directly this year without chopping firewood. If you buy better ones, even if the taste is not good, you still need to keep the air outlet, so as not to be poisoned by charcoal. This thing burns the kang, it's really crazy.

Sitting on the kang, Mrs. Qi covered her knees with a thin layer of quilt. She lightly wiped it with her hand, and there was another burst of joy. Now the quilt doesn't need to be thick, and the big and thick one that the two sons got is directly separated into two. The bed can be both a bedding and a quilt. It is really convenient and affordable. My kid’s way is getting wider and wider. Since last year, I have been getting these good things at home, and everything is cheap and affordable. Only the usual At less than half the price, everyone in the village is envious.

Thinking about the five bags of grain in the hut next to the kitchen, the peace in Qi's heart, six acres of middle field, one mu can produce one and a half stones, nearly two stones of grain, that is nearly two hundred catties, a total of one thousand and two One hundred catties, three buckets per mu, thirty catties per month, a total of 180 catties of taxes, and one bucket per mu, a total of sixty catties of labor money, leaving 960 catties, 480% of the rent for the family, That's [-] catties of grain. It's been Chinese New Year since the autumn harvest, and it's been more than two months. There is still so much food, enough to eat until the beginning of next spring, not to mention that she is still smart about harvesting. In the first time, more than half of the food was replaced with brown rice and yellow noodles, which directly saved a lot of food and doubled the food. Now the food in the family alone is enough for them to eat until next year's autumn harvest Well, this is the result of the fact that they sent a lot of food to their two brothers, Grandma Wang, and the whole family cost a stone. Think about it, starting next year, the middle field will have [-] acres and [-] acres of sloping land , how much grain should that be?

Today's fields, sloping fields and low-grade fields, generally cost nine buckets or one stone per mu, taxes are only two buckets, and labor is only seven liters, which is [-]% of middle fields. Although they can't buy it, but I heard that it only produces two to two and a half stones of grain, but the tax is five buckets, and the labor is one and a half buckets. After all, this Zhongtian is the most cost-effective , the price is right, and the tax is affordable.

Not to mention, when their slope land is still tax-free next year, how much food can the family save?The more he thought about it, the more Qi felt that his family's purchase of land was really a wise move. Not to mention their family, even other families, those who bought land, none of them said it was not worth it, like Master Mo, The 35 mu of sloping land was planted in a rush to plant this fall. It took just over a month for the vegetables to be harvested and sold for more than seven taels of silver. Never made so much money so quickly.There are also brothers from my natal family, who were a bit hesitant at first, and bought a family of five acres of sloping land, with a bitter face, but now, they can’t wait to buy a few more acres in the new year. Unfortunately, it’s easy to roll the money. , It’s just that the cost of raising it is less, and it’s naturally less when it comes to rolling. Five mu of land is just a little more than one or two yuan of income. In the spring of next year, we will have to plant beans to raise the land and save food. After all, food is the most important thing. It's not that easy to get up.

"Mother, what are you thinking about? You won't let go of the silver in your hand. This thing can't give birth to cubs."

Brother Xing was about to come over and talk to his mother, but he just saw Qi's dazed look, so he started talking and laughing, and heard Qi's embarrassment for a while, saying that he was going to die, and his son looked at his wild thinking, it was really embarrassing , rolled his eyes, and looked at Yu Niang and Jia Xun as if they didn't see anything, they were only focused on doing their own things, and Xiaosan was also practicing calligraphy, so he didn't care about himself, so he settled down, but concealed it He seemed busy and said:

"What else can you think about, isn't it the two pigs in our family? They have been raised for a year. When you get married, killing one is just right for you. It's just a pity that this pig failed to give birth. It is obviously sold. Everyone in the piglets has said that they can start breeding in less than a year, give birth in four months, and start breeding again in a month. From the beginning, the piglets in our family are still nine months old. It’s just that there’s no news, I bought a male and a female for nothing, if I knew this, I would have bought females back then, look, the female pigs are quite a bit bigger than the male pigs.”

Mrs. Qi just said it casually, but she didn't want her to say it here, but Brother Xing couldn't help laughing over there. The little Mrs. Qi was a little annoyed, and slapped Brother Xing on the shoulder.

"You son of a bitch, what are you laughing at? Mother is all for this family. If you can give birth to three or five piglets, then next year our family's pigs can be sold for a lot of money. How dare you not Heartless."

Brother Xing doesn't hide, his hand strength is similar to tickling, what to hide, what he is laughing at is something else:

"In this world, I have only heard of people who can't bear to talk about it. I don't think this pig is the same."

When he said this, Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration for some reason, and suddenly sat up straight from the kang, opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise:

"Could it be that the sow really has a calf?"

Seeing her son nodding, Qi's face immediately began to flush,

"A happy event, it really is a happy event, that's good, double happiness."

Why is the word embarrassing, Brother Xing's entire face froze, did he put him and that sow in the same position?His status has declined too quickly.Jia Xun on the side had already started to snicker, even the youngest, her face was flushed from holding back, if it wasn't for the majesty of the elder brother, he would have laughed out loud right now.

"Mother, what did you say?"

"What? Mother said it wrong, oops, I was confused, I shouldn't have said that, but brother Xing, this is definitely a good thing, so let's say, in the beginning of spring, let's not buy piglets, maybe we can sell pigs Piglets? Many people in the village also want to buy piglets to raise. This is another income. Even if they don’t sell them, they can save a lot of money by selling them until the end of next year. One pig One or two hundred catties, 25 Wen per catty of meat, even if the pure meat is only about one hundred catties, plus miscellaneous things, it is nearly three taels of silver. How much can a pig give birth to? It seems that there are at least three piglets, how much? If there are five or six heads, then our family has an income of more than ten taels, and all the money for Yuniang's marriage will come out in the next year."

Mrs. Qi was so excited, she hurriedly prepared to get off the kang to see her sow that had turned into silver. Fortunately, Brother Xing was stopping her.

"Mom, it's getting dark right now, what are you going to see? The pig won't run away anymore?"

"Yes, yes."

Having said this, Mrs. Qi somewhat calmed down, turned her head and saw that the money box was still on the kang table, and hurriedly said to Yu Niang who was silently sewing shoes:

"Hurry up, take out two or two taels, remember to remind me tomorrow, go buy some red paper, and start to decorate the new house, and put the money box into the kang cabinet, our family has enough food, and we have saved up a lot of winter vegetables Few, bedding and new clothes are ready, the meat is the boar, which was just fresh when it was killed the day before, and there are fish and so on, and the dishes can be considered complete. There are five chickens at home that can be killed. Buy another five or six, put a bowl of whole chicken soup on the table, a bowl of braised pork, a big bowl of stewed vegetables, a big bowl of stewed fish, and a bowl of mountain mushrooms and mixed vegetables. The dishes are absolutely bright .”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi turned around and started to get busy again, seeming to have forgotten about the piggy, but looking at that ruddy face again, Jia Xun shook his head, knowing that his mother probably Still excited, she didn't bother to provoke her, just packed up her things, got up and went to her room.If he doesn't go to school in winter, he just happens to learn more by himself and catch up with the progress. In the beginning of spring, he can save a lot of effort.Speaking of which, today seems to be the day of the lottery draw again, and I don't know what I can draw today?Sure enough, I remember this day every month the most firmly, I really look forward to it!
